Young scholars define the function of the different parts of a cell. In this biology lesson, students  discuss cell structures and how its organelles perform basic functions. They differentiate between human and animal cells.

From the scientific method to the function of a cell, the eBook has it all. A useful resource provides a free biology textbook with a focus on context. The text begins with an overview of the process of scientific inquiry and biology...

Ready to cell-ebrate all things cells? Bring a lesson plan that covers prokaryotic, eukaryotic, plant, and animal cells to your biology class. Pupils pair up and research organelles, use computers to create tables and presentations,...

Young scientists take a trip into the microscopic world of cellular biology with this practice exercise. Given pictures of different organelles, students must correctly identify specific parts of each cellular structure to demonstrate...

Young scientists demonstrate their understanding of cell transport on this comprehensive instructional activity. Focusing on cellular structure and the different processes that allow materials to move into, out of, and...

Using a piece of pink paper as the cytoplasm of an animal cell, beginning biologists color and cut out organelles on the handout to glue onto their cell models. Afterward, they create a list of the structures and describe the function of...

The billions of cells that make up all living things are the focus of this resource. Understanding the differences between the cells that make up plants and animals is an important distinction; it is covered here quite-well. Some...

In this comparing plant cells and animal cells instructional activity, learners view cells from their cheeks and cells from elodea. A Venn diagram reveals similarities and differences between the cells.

In this science graphic organizer worksheet, students complete a KWL chart for a study of plant and animal cells. They record what they know, what they want to know, and what they learned.

In this cells worksheet, students review the different types of cells. Students identify the organelles found in an animal cell and determine the function of these organelles. This worksheet has 14 matching, 6 fill in the blank, and 5...

Young scholars use the internet to research information about cells in order to create a 3-D model of a cell. They may choose either to research a plant or animal cell. Students locate and identify the parts of a cell and build a 3-D...

Tenth graders are introduced to the cell and some of its parts. Through the use of video, 10th graders see animal and plants cells and their parts. They learn terms used to explain the cell.

Young scholars identify the major components of the cell and their functions. They compare and contrast the major components and functions of animal and plant cells

Students use a hands-on activity which enhance their understanding of the 3-D characteristics of cells while reinforcing their knowledge of plant and animal cell structure.

In this cells worksheet, students color and label 8 items in a drawing of an animal cell. Answers are not provided. Students use colored pencils only.

Students observe the general structure and organelles of plant and animal cells. Students prepare microscope slides of elodea, onion, check, and cork and identify the cells by size and shape as unicellular, multicellular, plant or animal.

In this animal cell structure worksheet, students draw an animal cell. Kids then draw and label all of the cell parts listed in the word box. Students identify each part by coloring it the color in indicated in the box.
